"Climategate" or how to transform a mouse into an elephant | ScienceBlog.com
However, it has been shown that climate of the world is dynamic and has been varying. A long time ago, trees were growing in the tundras of northernmost Canada and 100 000 years ago, I would have to dig myself out of a glacier to see the daylight. This means that the odds are against a stable CO 2 independent climate.Global Warming: the Collapse of a Grand Narrative: Stott
For over a month now, since the farcical conclusion of the Copenhagen Climate Change Conference, I have been silent, partly through family commitments abroad in the USA, but also because, in this noisy world, in ‘The Clamour Of The Times’, it is on occasion better to be quiet and contemplative, to observe rather than to comment. And, as an independent academic, it has been fascinating to witness the classical collapse of a Grand Narrative, in which social and philosophical theories are being played out before our gaze. It is like watching the Berlin Wall [pictured] being torn down, concrete slab by concrete slab, brick by brick, with cracks appearing and widening daily on every face - political, economic, and scientific. Likewise, the bloggers have been swift to cover the crumbling edifice with colourful graffiti, sometimes bitter, at others caustic and witty.Greenpeace cited multiple times in IPCC’s Third Assessment Report « ClimateQuotes.com
I don't know how accurate these studies are or how rigorous the peer-review process was (if any existed). Clearly the IPCC's reliance on Greenpeace is not just in the Fourth Assessment report.'Pachauri didn't correct glaciers' report despite being informed' - India - The Times of India
LONDON: R K Pachauri, chairman of the UN panel on Climate Change, took two months to correct the report about melting Himalayan glaciers despite being informed before last year's Copenhagen Summit, a media report claimed today, but the climate czar termed it as "ridiculous".

He can claim it's "ridiculous" but he'd be calling the BBC a liar. They published a report on 12/5/09 on the Himalaya mistakes along with Pachauri's comments that he didn't know anything about it. He termed one dispute on Himalaya data by India's Environment Minister Ramesh, "voodoo science." The BBC headline just referred to Himalaya mistake. No one picked up on Pachauri's remarks in the body of the article. If the BBC had made his comments the headline, history might have been different.
